This project is an 11-mile segment located in Dillon County where the new highway intersects with I-95. The project will significantly improve safety by segregating interstate traffic, including motorists travelling from I-95 to Myrtle Beach, from the local traffic, which is significantly slower. Ninety percent of Myrtle Beach visitors arrive by car, in an area that sees, on average, 100,000 visitors per day. With these improvements travelers from I-95 to Myrtle Beach will save as much as 25 minutes on this 65-mile trip.
